Ariana Grande turned heads wearing a hot pink oversized coat as she stepped out of Ronnie Scott's in London on Friday alongside her Wicked co-star, Cynthia Erivo.

The 7 Rings hitmaker, 29, who recently shared behind-the-scenes photos from her upcoming Wicked film adaptation, was glammed up as she enjoyed time out in the city amidst shooting the anticipated project in the U.K.

The former Nickelodeon actress donned a black ensemble that was held up with straps that wrapped around her shoulders.

The outfit was partially concealed by an eye-catching jacket that fell down towards her ankles and was casually draped down just below her shoulders.

The performer slipped into a pair of white heeled boots for a bit of color contrast to her overall look as she stopped by Ronnie Scott's, a jazz club.

Her locks were slicked back into a stylish ponytail while a black headband was added for a fashionable flare. 

As she made her way down the few steps, the beauty balanced a white purse in her hand rather than slinging the item over her shoulder. 

Ariana opted to keep her accessories minimalistic for the outing in order to allow the ensemble to be the main focal point and added a small pair of sparkling, silver earrings. 

The Thank U, Next hitmaker opted for a shimmering white shadow around her eyes along with a thin layer of winged black liner to make her eyes pop. 

A light pink blush and highlighter was worn to better accentuate her cheekbones while a glossy, dark rose tint was added to her lips for a finishing touch to her look. 

The songstress walked arm-in-arm with fellow actress, Cynthia Erivo, who has been cast alongside Ariana in the upcoming Wicked film adaption which is currently filming in the U.K. 

The Harriet star also made a fashion statement of her own wearing a black denim skirt that fell down past her knees along with a blue sweater that contained orange and white stripes on the warm material. 

She added an orange turtleneck sweater underneath, and layered her outfit with a long black coat which she chose to leave unbuttoned.

Cynthia slipped into a pair of unique, orange and black-patterned heeled boots while carrying a lime green purse that was draped over her right arm. 

She accessorized her outfit with a pair of flashy, gold-hooped earrings as well as a silver nose ring for an edgy flare. A gold-chained necklace was placed over her shoulder and contained a rectangular pendant on the front. 

The duo have been cast with leading roles in the upcoming Wicked film adaptation, with Ariana portraying Glinda the Good Witch, and Cynthia playing Elphaba. 

Production has already commenced filming in the U.K., and the anticipated movie is set to release in two parts, with the first slated to premiere in November 2024. 

The star-studded cast also includes Oscar winner Michelle Yeoh, Jeff Goldblum, Bridgerton's Jonathan Bailey, and Kristen Chenworth, who is notably known for portraying Glinda on Broadway. 

The current premise follows, 'The story of how a green-skinned woman framed by the Wizard of Oz becomes the Wicked Witch of the West,' according to an official IMDB synopsis.   

Ariana has been teasing her fans with a few behind-the-scenes glimpses of shooting the movie, and earlier this week, gave an update as she revealed that production was already halfway through. 

The beauty shared a slightly blurry photo of herself as she posed outdoors on set while surrounded by numerous trailers and a stunning rainbow high up in the sky. 

'halfway. savoring every millisecond left with my Galinda (although she’ll be with me irrevocably, forever). she shows me so many new things every day. i am so grateful, i don’t know what to do or say…' 

'to be here in Oz where everyday is a life changing one… to be feeling, learning and growing so much at such a disarming speed… to feel so much love around me, to begin each day before the sun is up and to end after it sets…,' she continued in the caption to her 364 million followers.

Grande also opened up about the enormity of the role, adding, 'to be lead by thee most thoughtful, brilliant, compassionate and warmest possible director on this planet, my other Ozian best friend ever Jon...' Crazy Rich Asians director, Jon M. Chu, has taken on the role behind the camera once again for the big project. 

To conclude the lengthy, reflective post, the performer expressed her upmost gratitude for the opportunity and later penned, 'my fellow Ozians. my heart will be stuck here forever.'

The original Broadway musical held its first performance in 2003, and received critical acclaim among audiences and critics. The musical won three Tony awards and has also been one of the longest-running productions in Broadway history.
